• Hi everyone,

    As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.

    When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.

    Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.

    Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.

    Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.

    Thanks for your patience and support!

PJ1 Filter Cleaner?

I use gasoline to clean the oil off, then use hot soapy water to clean the dirt and gas off. I pour the gas thru a shop cloth into a container, then pour it in my truck, no waste, also do this with old 2-stroke gas. In the summer to dry the filter I pin the filter to the screen on top of my house a/c unit, a/c stays on alot in the summer, in the winter use my wifes hair dryer on warm but high setting to dry it, don't use hot, it will melt the filter, don't ask how I know.:D
 
I've used PJ1 in the past, as well as other products. It works better than most products designed to clean filters. I tried some expensive Motorex cleaner and it didn't work very well. I have finally switched back to good old, dangerous gasoline. It really cleans filters the fastest and the most thoroughly.

i cannt be the only one that sees something bad happening here.....
 
I have been using PJ1 products for about 6 years and I think they work great, especially since they are very competitively priced. I did accidently kill some of my yard, so be careful where you rinse.
 
I have used both the PJ1 filter cleaner and aerosol filter oil for years and really like them.

For the cleaner - I don't have to let it sit for a long time to soak in - I put on some latex gloves and work it into the filter for a few minutes. I then rinse and squeeze out excess etc - I might repeat the process once if it is really dirty.

Comes out nice and clean - let it dry overnight and spray a light coating of the aerosol filter oil and work it in and I am good...

Ive been using rock oil, foam airfilter oil with good results and prior to that ive used putoline products for my filters. Ive tryed using degreasers and other solvents, but ive found gasoline to be the best to get rid of old filter oil.
